Rocket Man, I love it and that is being kind. But I would like to know how you wish to honor Rocket Man with the proper elitist title worthy of his position as a countries leader to wipe out the US?

lol... I always know I'm getting to you when you start deflecting and whataboutting and name calling. It's kinda cute, actually. Doesn't change the facts, but it is cute...

So, you think it's a good idea for the President of the United States to get into the diplomatic equivalent of a "Your mamma" joke brawl with an unstable nuclear power? I mean, you're ridiculing me for being concerned...you think this is a smart strategy, the best approach America has to offer? So much better than Obama's prudence? Please, given your lack of patience with "childishness", how does your president acting like an insecure bully struggling with puberty inspire your derision towards folks who point that out?

:lol:

How about you rephrase your question in a manner that I would actually answer you then, vs. look for a place to wipe you off my shoe... Sorry, darlin', I only tolerate trolls I like, I don't know you.

To be fair, it is an opinion piece, not a news story.

It's perfectly legitimate to editorialize when writing an editorial.

imho anyway

Right, but I have grown tired of that excuse for being unfair. If you read around you will find that I am not the only one, though a lot of the consternation is about how FoxNews blends journalism attempts with lies in such a way that it all bleeds together. A lot of places do it, to include TheWeek which I generally like and find to have moments of quality, which is rare anymore.

Sure.

It seems like it being an editorial, and opinion piece cuts against your argument that the article has "violated journalism, the norm of reporting the truth without bias"

This is explicitly a bias piece, an opinion piece.

Even though there may be other examples of violated journalism in the world, I am not so sure that this piece is a sign of violated journalism.

Ryan Cooper: About

I have a problem with a guy who claims to be a journalist being associated with this sort of sleaze at the outfit he claims to be a journalist at, and I have a problem with his employer as well.

Interesting:
What depressing creatures these journalists are! What a tragedy it must be to live this way, forever conscious of the superficiality and purposelessness of one’s writing, yet doomed to continue pouring it forth. How can one inhabit such a position without lapsing into despair?

If our conversation with Mr. Cooper is any indication, the answer is that one cannot. It is, in fact, not terriby fun writing five new Trump stories per fortnight. Thus one only has two possible means of protection against the realization of the emptiness of one’s work: (1) touchy defensive posturing, à la Mr. Bouie (of the school that likes to say “How dare you impugn my work!”) or (2) ritual confession and self-flagellation à la Mr. Cooper (in which the journalist convinces himself that, so long as he does not pretend to do more useful work than he knows he is doing, it is acceptable to remain useless.)

There is something very odd indeed about this kind of attitude toward one’s career. The political opinion-writer produces every word as if he is deeply invested in the consequences of an issue. As Mr. Cooper told us, these things matter. Yet he behaves as if these things do not matter very much at all; when confronted with the stakes he shrugs, says “Hey man, I’m just looking to pay my rent.”

I have liked The Week because unusual and not popular ideas float across more often than I see almost anywhere else, but this tendency to believe that they are journalists and that they are showing us what we dont already know.... that is to say reporting..... when they are willing to sink to National Enquirer levels increasingly I think I have a problem with.

The fact that some call the National Enquirer journalism does not change that.

I see your one of Rocket Man's dearest fans. Wanting to give him is due respect, but your just afraid to say how much you really like the guy.

:lol: lol...ya that's it. Ok, I'm starting to like you, troll.... I mean, you do go for the gusto in your accusations and leaps of logic, I'll give you that... :lol: Please, do expand on your thoughts surrounding Trump's handling of foreign diplomacy and negotiations to ensure you don't break out in nuclear war with Korea, or that neighboring countries don't suffer massive casualties because Korea might not be able to reach the United States, but can hit South Korea, Japan, and any number of other countries in the region. Please additionally explain the diplomatic effectiveness of mocking the leader of the nation with whom you would like to avoid said nuclear conflict (or massive ground war for that matter).

I'm pretty sure that no matter how you answer the above question, if you actually giver 'er a go, you're probably not going to change my mind from thinking that Donald Trump should not call the leader of North Korea anything other than by his name.

Please look at this link:
Steven Mnuchin is a window into the most corrupt White House in history

You should see a pic of a high official, the pic was clearly chosen to make the official look bad, it is on a piece that is slamming that official for his acts, which widens into a Trump Hit Piece.

Once they go so far as to run with the pic like that should everything that comes after be ignored, maybe because they have violated journalism, the norm of reporting the truth without bias?

I say yes.

Please detail what specifically is incorrect in what you call a "hit piece?"
 
I, MARK ANTHONY TRAINA, a TRUMP SUPPORTER, would LOVE to know exactly how many times CNN and MSNBC have ATTACKED PRESIDENT TRUMP either PERSONALLY, and/or, POLITICALLY on the air since he announced his PRESIDNTIAL CANDIDACY, back in 2015?

I would suspect over ONE MILLION times!

You always have to consider the source. Secondly, is the information untrue?

I get your take, your a follower of Obama do nothing policy which was stated by Susan Rice, "we can tolerate a nuclear NK" meaning do nothing. Let NK have all the nukes they want pointed at us and all our allies. Then let Iran do the same and all the countries that wants us wiped off the map. Yeah we can tolerate nukes surrounding us no problem, whats losing Manhattan, SF, LA, no problem we can tolerate it.
